I think I can sort of answer number 3. I believe the Entwives ended up in the Shire.

Treebeard told Marry and Pippin that the Entwives would have loved the Shire when they described it to him. Also, at the beginning of the whole saga, before there's mention of Rings and dark lords and something about the end of the world, Sam says his cousin saw a tree on the northern borders of the Shire walking "Seven feet to a stride if it was an inch". Perhaps this was an Entwife?

Saruman called himself "ring maker" although I'm not sure just what that ring of his was supposed to do except make him Saurons competitor for world domination. I would love to know what it looked like. Perhaps because he was of many colours his ring also was of many colours?
